[Vision2020] the shooting

[Paul Rumelhart]

Keely,

I have to send this to the list, you'll see why.  This has nothing to do 
with the conversation.  I just wanted to point out that when I try to 
reply to you directly (or as one recipient in a multiple recipient 
post), msn.com rejects it.  It appears that MSN is blocking the yahoo 
host that I'm assigned, at least.  I haven't gone sleuthing to try to 
find out what's actually happening, but if you have trouble sending to 
people on the list see if they have yahoo.com addresses.  Perhaps 
someone from that host sent spam and was temporarily blacklisted.  Here 
is a snippet from the email that is returned:

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<kjajmix1 at msn.com>:
Remote host said: 550 SC-001 Unfortunately, messages from 98.139.213.147 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors. 


Just thought you'd like to know.
